At Finca Luzón, no sulphites are added during the winemaking process. To produce a high-quality organic wine without additives, only perfectly healthy grapes are selected. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 22 to 24 degrees Celsius and lasts for 6 to 8 days. The juice then remains in contact with the skins for an additional 5 to 10 days, enhancing both colour intensity and flavour complexity.
The estate is located in Jumilla, one of Spain’s oldest and most prestigious wine regions, situated in the southeast within the Murcia province. Jumilla is renowned for its robust red wines. The region has a dry continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, and its soils—composed mainly of limestone, clay, and sand—are ideal for viticulture.
Modern winemaking techniques are employed to further enhance the quality and character of the wines. Monastrell is the dominant grape variety grown here, known for producing deeply coloured wines with intense, rich flavours. Other varieties such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot are also cultivated, allowing for a diverse and well-balanced range.
A core value at the estate is sustainable viticulture. Great care is taken to minimise environmental impact and promote biodiversity in the vineyards. As a result, the wines are not only high in quality but also responsibly produced.
With its strong commitment to sustainability and innovation, the estate continues to craft distinctive wines that capture the true essence of the Jumilla region.

Characteristics of Jumilla Wines

– **Other Grape Varieties**: Besides Monastrell, other grapes grown include Garnacha, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon for red wines, and Airén and Verdejo for white wines.
2. **Climate and Terroir**:
– The region has a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild winters. This ensures optimal ripening of the grapes.
– The soil consists of clay, limestone and sand, which contributes to the complexity and minerality of the wines.
3. **Wine styles**:
– **Red Wines**: The red wines from Jumilla are often full-bodied, powerful and rich in aromas such as dark fruits, spices and a hint of earthy notes. Many of these wines undergo wood aging, which adds extra depth and complexity.
– **White Wines**: White wines tend to be fresher and lighter, with notes of citrus and tropical fruit. These wines are often meant to be drunk young.
– **Rosé Wines**: Excellent rosé wines are also produced, usually made from Monastrell, which are fresh and fruity.
